On the job, there is a level of performance that is expected. That level can change with new leadership. The older well valued employees may need expectations restated. Or perhaps there is a new team member joining the team. So what actually needs to be conveyed to assure understanding?
- Why the task must be completed
- When the work is to be completed.
- How rigid the deadline is
- How the finished work will be measured or evaluated
- How important the task is in relation to other work being done
- How the task fits into the big picture
As a leader, it is important to take that breath and take the time. Clearly conveying expectations is absolutely necessary when it comes to managing and leading a team. After you have conveyed the expectation, be sure to ask questions. It is the only way to know for sure that understanding has occurred.
